Electric and hybrid vehicles use electricity and a combination of electricity and fuel, respectively, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease emissions. Proponents argue that it significantly cuts pollution and advances the transition to renewable energy sources. Opponents argue that it increases vehicle costs, limits consumer choice, and may strain the electric grid.

The Government should improve and make public transport more accessible, financially and logistically.
@9NL4FTV9mos9MO
No, not until there is proof of safer and longer lasting power supply than lithium. The mining, manufacture and disposal of EVs is terrible for the environment.
@B2TF9X32wks2W
to get rid of all non electric cars would be wasteful, just decrease or stop production of deisel/ petrol cars
@B2LKPGP3wks3W
Not necessarily, non electric cars which utilize synthetic fuels, if affordable, would be just as viable.
@B2L782T3wks3W
The focus should instead be towards creating alternatives to cars, like expanding public transport and biking networks.
@B2H76JV1mo1MO
Cars as a whole should not exist for common use, public transport should be fully nationalised and highly funded.
@B29NW4F1mo1MO
Yes, but only if significant public money is invested into charging infrastructure both in public and at home.
@B26ZB332mos2MO
Yes, providing any encouragement or incentives for consumers and manufacturers to change to such alternatives have failed.
